Milk-is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals (including monotremes).
Magnesium: Mg(OH)2
Rich source of has B2, B12, calcium, and iodine; a source of protein, vitamin A, and vitamin B1.
Full cream milk has 11.4 g of fat of which 63% is saturated; supplies 200 kcal (840 kJ)
Skimmed milk had 0.3 g of fat; supplies 100 kcal (420 kJ)
Channel Islands milk has 14.4 g of fat of which 68% is saturated; supplies 230 kcal (970 kJ).
Health- The composition of milk differs widely between species. Factors are the type of protein; the proportion of protein, fat, and sugar; the levels of various vitamins and minerals; and the size of the butterfat globules' and the strength of the curd are among those than can vary.
For example:
Human milk contains, on average, 1.1% protein, 4.2% fat, 7.0% lactose (a sugar), and supplies 72 kcal of energy per 100 grams.
Cow milk contains, on average, 3.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 4.6% lactose, and supplies 66 kcal of energy per 100 grams. See also Nutritional benefits further on.
Aquatic mammals, such as seals and whales, produce milk that is very rich in fats and other solid nutrients when compared with land mammals' milk.
